Description

This 90 minute didactic group that helps clients adopt coping skills in the areas of Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. A significant focus of this group is psycho-education of emotions. I teach with an attachment and neurobiological frame in mind.

The goal of this group is to help clients to expand their repertoire of emotional management strategies while learning to effectively implement these tools in their lives. Members also have the opportunity to connect with and support their peers as they learn with and from each other.
